520 |a"Little Bear Creek is a tributary of Lake St. Clair designated as a municipal drain under the authority of the provincial Drainage Act. Little Bear Creek drains into the St. Clair River via the Chanel Ecarte and passes through the geographic townships of Dover, Chatham, and Camden, within the Chatham-Kent Region. Adjacent farm land drains into Little Bear Creek through subsurface tile drains. The Municipality of Chatham-Kent has submitted a drain maintenance request to excavate 29.5 km from the mouth and upstream to Countryview Line, where the remaining drain portions are buried. Proposed drain maintenance includes excavation via drag-line rigging and long and standard excavators, and the removal of accumulated sediment and riparian vegetation (i.e., small trees and large brush). Little Bear Creek is home to six species at risk fishes listed under the federal Species at Risk Act: Endangered Pugnose Shiner; Endangered Lake Chubsucker (Erimyzon sucetta); Special Concern Pugnose Minnow (Opsopoeodus emiliae); Special Concern Blackstripe Topminnow; Special Concern Grass Pickerel (Esox americanus vermiculatus); and, Special Concern Spotted Sucker (Minytrema melanops).There is concern that the proposed maintenance will negatively affect fish species at risk and/or their habitats, including Pugnose Shiner Critical Habitat"--Intro., p. 3.
